In an interview with Rob Burrow, Zara Tindall discussed not being a working royal.
"From my point of view, I was obviously very lucky that my mother didn't give us any titles, so I really commend her on that. We were very lucky that we got to do it a bit our own way," Tindall said on the "Rob's Total Sport" podcast.

"My family has a great work ethic as well, which I'm hoping they instilled in me and is still going to this day," Zara Tindall continued.
Although she is not a working member of the royal family, Zara Tindall remains a public figure.

Princess Anne didn't give her children royal titles, but insiders claim the Princess Royal is hoping Zara Tindall will take on royal duties in the future.
"Anne's health is at the point where it can be unpredictable, so it makes sense to have Zara on standby," the source said, per Sky News.

"But more than that, Anne wants Zara to be able to continue some of the traditions important to her, like organizing this annual carol service at the Tower of London in her role as President of The Mission to Seafarers," the source continued.
Zara Tindall is an accomplished equestrian and Olympian.
